A practical guide to methods of parentage analysis
The use of molecular techniques for parentage analysis has been a booming science for
over a decade. The most important technological breakthrough was the introduction of …

Advancing human disease research with fish evolutionary mutant models
Model organism research is essential to understand disease mechanisms. However,
laboratory-induced genetic models can lack genetic variation and often fail to mimic the spectrum of …

[HTML][HTML] A microarray analysis of sex-and gonad-biased gene expression in the zebrafish: evidence for masculinization of the transcriptome
Background In many taxa, males and females are very distinct phenotypically, and these
differences often reflect divergent selective pressures acting on the sexes. Phenotypic sexual …

Innate immune responses to gut microbiota differ between oceanic and freshwater threespine stickleback populations
Animal hosts must co-exist with beneficial microbes while simultaneously being able to mount
rapid, non-specific, innate immune responses to pathogenic microbes. How this balance …

Host genotype and microbiota contribute asymmetrically to transcriptional variation in the threespine stickleback gut
Recent studies of interactions between hosts and their resident microbes have revealed
important ecological and evolutionary consequences that emerge from these complex …

Leafy and weedy seadragon genomes connect genic and repetitive DNA features to the extravagant biology of syngnathid fishes
Seadragons are a remarkable lineage of teleost fishes in the family Syngnathidae, renowned
for having evolved male pregnancy. Comprising three known species, seadragons are …

Ovarian transcriptional response to Wolbachia infection in D. melanogaster in the context of between-genotype variation in gene expression
Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted endosymbiotic bacteria that infects a wide variety of
arthropod and nematode hosts. The effects of Wolbachia on host biology are far-reaching and …

Population structure of the dusky pipefish (Syngnathus floridae) from the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, as revealed by mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite analyses
Aim To elucidate the historical phylogeography of the dusky pipefish (Syngnathus floridae)
in the North American Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico ocean basins. Location Southern Atlantic …

Genetic Evidence for Monogamy in the Dwarf Seahorse, Hippocampus zosterae
Syngnathid fishes (pipefishes, seahorses, and seadragons) exhibit a wide array of mating
systems ranging from monogamy with long-term pair bonds to more promiscuous mating …

Functional similarity and molecular divergence of a novel reproductive transcriptome in two male‐pregnant Syngnathus pipefish species
CM Small, AD Harlin‐Cognato… - Ecology and …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Evolutionary studies have revealed that reproductive proteins in animals and plants often
evolve more rapidly than the genome‐wide average. The causes of this pattern, which may …
